Makes sense. The "same ski, different name" followed immediately by "same name, different ski" is making this hard to talk about. Definitely interested in further comparisonQuote:

I would like to point at that said person is not a rep, just and athlete/ photographer for them.
learn something everyday. Skis still rip, cut up pow settling up at the end of today, they flew threw/over all of it.Quote:

ZeroG lineup just get a new color scheme, no changes other than that. The sub 1000g boot might be a bit further away than that... There's a new Mach MV for next year with some interesting new tech that sort of originated in things learned from ZeroG development.Quote:

Other than the binding that was already posted a while back in the 300gr binding thread there doesn't seem to be a whole lot new stuff minus some color changes. I dunno, i do not follow Dynafit closely - i do not like their gear for the most part. Sorry if the link above already was posted.
The same people posted the G3 2021 booklet as well: https://issuu.com/josport/docs/g3_workbook_2021_swe_web
New Zed 9 and a bunch of reworked/new skis.
anyone?Quote:

screw G3, their shitty Chinese bindings, skins, skis and customer service

I think Spyderjon confirmed that there will be Look MNC binding in 21/22. Not this year. Not sure thoughQuote:

Is it me or are we seeing a revival of the heavier, 2 sheets-of-metal ski's? Katana108 and Mantra 102, Dynastar's new line, Salomon with a line?, new Cochise ? I think it is great, never really got on board with the 'lighter is better' movement and love my damp titanal skis. Maybe the world is finally coming to its senses?
Only time I’m not in love with them is hiking with them strapped to my pack, or the thought of skinning on them with Cast.Quote:

100% agree with this. They are an awesome inbounds ski, just can’t take them anywhere involving self propelled up hill travel. That’s why I sold mine.Quote:

Dynafit IMO is coasting on their market share right now/ setting themselves to only compete on price since other than their skimo race they don't have a category leading product. Also it kinda pisses me off that they've become very loose/ lying about actual weights. For example, a ton of the first look and reviews of the TLT 8 that are out there are given numbers from Dynafit for the boot weight that is only the shell weight making them look lighter by about 200grams. Or them saying their DNA boot is the lightest in the world when both Sportiva and Pierre Gignoux both make lighter boots.Quote:

^^This makes my me very happy. Still on fist iteration of Freetours (130s) and scored a deal on some XT Free Promodel that I was going to roll into service later this year but now I’ll hold off and look patiently await the poly beef version
I spend probably 30-35% of the season on the XT Free Pro, with a booster strap, and Intuition Power Wrap liner for resort sidecountry (or Pro Tour for touring), and it’s not as bad as some people say. Is it a race boot, no it will never replace my Head Raptor RS 140s, but for what it is, it’s great. I usually ski it with a lighter ski, and it’s fine. If you can’t make it work, that’s on you.Quote:

I’m in for a new Katana108 if it skis anything like my current 14’ Katanas.Quote:

is there any news regarding nordica strider?
How did the weight feel? Would be very interested in an M-Pro 99 186.Quote:

I’m actually really excited about this because I was hoping K2 made a slightly narrower but same construction 116 for a sidecountry/touring ski. The 122 also sounds like a perfect pow day ski where you are boot packing or sidestepping all over to get pow. I wonder if my BMX 115s will hood their spot in the quiver.

Thats the twin tip line called the reckoner 102, 112, and 122. The mindbenders return unchanged except for graphics. Looked like he also had a pair of the old powabungas that are all green and like 136 underfoot, but they also could have put an old powabunga top sheet on a prototype ski for him.Quote:
